454 West Avenue

2020 - Kelowna, BC

54 West Avenue project is a 48 unit, 6-storey mixed use rental/commercial building. It is the Mission Group’s first project in Kelowna’s upscale Pandosy Village. The building utilizes a hybrid steel and concrete structural system to support its clean, modern architectural language. The design features ‘heritage inspired’ vertical proportions, with a light brick-clad base and aluminum storefront glazing that creates an active street-level presence. The upper levels transition to a palette of fibre-cement assemblies and vinyl-framed windows.

The building design minimizes the massing on the street by presenting the narrow end of the building to West Avenue and creating an Active One-storey commercial frontage across the remaining frontage. The building includes seven visitor parking stalls and three commercial space parking stalls for a total of fifty eight parking stalls. Bike parking and dog exercise areas are also included in the project.
